Gloosh

Gloosh

The Gloosh are a secretive and fearful species of sloth like tree-dwelling cephalopods. They are very slow and usually only feed on leaves, but will eat bugs if they come close enough to their mouths.

History

The Gloosh lived on the planet Noma until they were visited by a small hairy alien species known as the Crhrtany. The Crhtany were inexperienced with making contact with new species however and spread their diseases to the Gloosh, killing many and destroying their planet's forests. The Crhtany took pity on the Gloosh and gave them ships, leading them to a new planet, Annwn. However they were sadly wiped out by an unknown force, leaving the Gloosh alone. The Gloosh soon discovered powerful cloaking technology on a nearby world and used it to hide their ships, protecting them from the predators they feared.

Society and Culture

The Gloosh are prey, they know this, and hate this. They are afraid of nearly every being they encounter. They did not have much in the way of society before the arrival of Crhrtany, as the Gloosh hate effort. They often lack the motivation to do the most basic of tasks. They place a lot of emphasis on their dangling and flopping, stating that it is their way of existence.

Territory

The Gloosh have no area of influence. They are only found in one star system, Persei Rex. However there is one Gloosh cartographer found in the far-off system of Kapteyn's Star, which would suggest they aren't completely averse to exploration.

Ship

Gloosh Dangler

The primary Gloosh vessel, the Gloosh Dangler, was originally given to them by the Crhtany like all their other ships. They mostly pilot themselves.

It has a Focal Laser, which fires two intersecting explosive lasers. The ship can also fire De-energizer Bolts, which can stop a ship in its tracks, making them a much easier target for the slow to react Gloosh. While not used in combat, the Gloosh could use powerful cloaking tech to make their ships undetectable. Other ship models include: Wobblers, Wigglers and Luggers.
